Layer Aand Layer Bcan work on its own as they have detailed and ornate designs.

However, when you put A & Btogether, you are guaranteed to have some SERIOUS stencil fun. I used all Altenew inks to create this colorful one layer. It has so much depth and dimensions... it's hard to believe that you can create something this intricate from using just stencils!!

The sentiment fromAmazing You is so sweet and is perfect for the floral goodness. I also stenciled the new Warm Sunshine Envelope. The card and envelope are perfectly matched!

I white-embossed the flowers (Striped Flower Stamp & Die) on my Altenew sprayed inked paper. Yes, you can now create your own color paper with the new sprays....AND they will coordinate with the Altenew inks. See the background and flowers color ? They are all from the sprays!

Do you love the inky result? For all my projects, I am using the new Altenew Tape Runner ( in pack of 3). These adhesives are the best quality that I have ever owned. Period.

Sometimes I just don't have the 'right' words to convey how I marvel over the magic you create with Altenew products ...and this is one of those times! Virginia, your showcases: stellar! In awe yet again...~carol

I think your cards are beautiful. I love the colors and depth you created with just 2 stencils and great color choices. Amazing, using the sketched stencil to create waves and the graduated coloring to create the depth! The flowers on flower background is so pretty, too! All are amazing designs!

Wonderful cards. all three of them. They are fun and colorful and creative. I love that you paired the loose flowers of the stenciled background with the more detailed and more dense colored floral images. What an amazing finished product. And the purples are just yummy. Thanks so much.

Wow, wow, wow!!! I adore each and every one of these lovely cards. The way you used the stencils is fabulous. I also like photo heavy posts so this was right up my alley!! Those shimmer sprays ROCK!! I think I will have to break down and buy them and I am supposed to be on a no buy any craft stuff this month!!

Awesome cards, Virginia! I love the combination of the 2 stencils in the first card. I agree, they're so dedicate and intricate looking. I like the water effect created with the sketched lines, very clever :) I absolutely love the colors you used in on the flowers! I so want to try all the creations you made :) Thank you for sharing!

I'm as thrilled as you appear to be about Altenew's new products. And I can't wait to get my hands on them. Love the way you've layered the stencils in card one and the incredibly clever use of them on your lighthouse card. Just brilliant. Of course, being a floral junkie, I adore the third card. Such a treat scrolling through this bevy of beautiful work.

I love how you have featured the new Altenew products on your cards. I believe my favorite is the floral card which uses both the new stencil, the new sprays, as well as the beautiful new stamps. Can't wait to see more work featuring these new products.

I love how you did the background stencil for waves. That is so cool! I never would have thought to do that and you did. I guess that's why you have a blog and I don't! LOLI love the first card with the flowers because it uses my favorite color, yellow in it. I love how that spray shimmers when you use it. I have to have some! I need to win it! Your right about something that intricate using stencils. Who knew? Not me and I guess not you either.I still can't believe you used that background stencil for waves. I love that card so much! I am a flower lover to the max and your flower card is amazing! I hope whoever gets any of these cards loves them as much as I do. Thanks for showing us your beautiful cards and giving us the chance to win something.I can't wait to see the rest of the cards on the hop!

Virginia, your cards are beautiful. I fell in love the first time I saw the Sketched Lines stencil, but I would never have thought of using it as you did! Pure genius on your part! I also like your idea of stenciling the envelope to match the card. Spraying the paper to form the flowers and then white embossing them made them beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, beautiful cards and I love the clever ways you used the different stencils, they have so much dimension and interest! I love the variety of medallion flowers, the stenciled water and the floral background for the bouquet.

Wow Virginia! I haven't visited you in a while and I'm so glad I did today! Your cards are beautiful, your choice of colors make me happy and I love how you used the stencils on your colorful first card. TFS
